Kale is a nutritious green leafy vegetable that contains a lot of nutrients. They are Vitamin A , Vitamin B6, Vitamin C,Vitamin K, minerals such as Iron, Potassium etc. Kale contains an antioxidant known as alpha-lipoic acid, which has been shown to lower glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity and prevent oxidative stress-induced changes in patients with diabetes.

Kale is also high in water content and fiber that helps constipation. Vitamin A is the nutrient for sebum production to keep hair moisturised and for the growth of body tissue including skin and hair.

Iron rich food such as Kale can prevent hair loss which is caused by Iron deficiency.

Ultimate Silver Birdnest

We tried Emperor Brand Ultimate Silver Birdnest. It comes in a box of 300 grams with 25 pieces of Birdnest. The quantity of Birdnests may vary depend on the size. The Ultimate Silver Birdnest are House Nests from Indonesia. They come in cup shape as seen in photos below. After soaking the Birdnest, it will expand to about 2 to 3 times its size. Take note that the colour of real Birdnest will not fade after soaking & the Birdnest strand should look transparent.

Preparations:

Soak and clean in tapwater for about 2 hours. Remove impurities if any.
Use a Double boil pot, boil the water in the outer pot and put Birdnest and boiled water in the inner pot and let in boil for another 45 mins to 60mins.
Add some rock sugar and red dates for better taste.

Benefits of Birdnest

- Better & radiant complexion for the mama and baby
- Strengthen body system and resistance to diseases
- Tissue repair & promote cell growth
- Boost blood circulation system


** We use 300ml of  water and the pot is full of Birdnest and not much water. You may want to add more water.

We opined that this Birdnest is more value for money. The Birdnest has an egg fragrant which indictates that the Birdnest is pure and natural.
